When should my infant see the dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that a child's first dental visit should occur by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth emerges. Dr. Noam recommends coming in as early as possible to ensure your child has thriving oral health from day one.

How we make awesome appointments happen

Our infant room, designed like a cozy nursery, makes for a calming environment for your little one's first check-ups. With comfy couches, mom and dad can be at ease too while Dr. Noam conducts infant exams for ages 0-3.

To give comprehensive care, we coordinate with local lactation consultants when necessary. This ensures that your family's needs are met without the hassle of multiple appointments.

We believe in prevention from the start. That's why we offer education even before your baby is born to help prevent early tooth decay.
